David Lubin submitted the following.
which was read and placed on file:
Your subcommittee on the Subdivision of
Large Land Grants, beg leave to report as fol-
lows:
After the neglect on the part of the County
Assessor to properly assess the large land grants
throughout the county, the committee, it will
be remembered, at your request, appeared be-
fore the County Board of Supervisors sitting as
Board of Equalization, and presented an
array of facts and figures clearly showing the
glaring inequality OF assessments throughout
the county, particularly in the case OF large
holdings, and asked that the Board properly
equalize the assessments complained of. The
Board promised TO attend TO the matter but ad-
journed three weeks afterwards without having
even examined into it. The correctness of the
position taken by the Association in these
assessments was clearly demonstrated month
later, when the State Board of EQUALIZATION
raised the entire county roll ten per cent. Thus,
through the gross neglect of duty of the Board
of Supervisors, were the taxes on small holdings,
already disproportionately taxed, increased
still more. After the adjournment of the
County Board of Equalization your committee
outlined work by which il hoped to interest
outside capital in the purchase and cutting I'D
OF large holdings as business speculation. The
owners OF the san Juan grant were interviewed,
with view OF aScertaining just what they
would be willing to do in the way of disposing
of their land, and correspondence was had with
Governor Stanford, in the hope of interesting
the Southern Pacific Company in the purchase
and subdivision of the Rancho Del Paso. Just
at this time commenced the boom in city and
county real estate, and your committee soon
found that they were, for the time at least, with
out an occupation, as with the rise in values
syndicates and individuals bought for subdi-
vision number of tracts throughout the COUNTY
rms movement, we are pleased 10 say, still con-
tinueS, and your committee, finding its objects
SO successfully accomplished without push or
solicitation on their part, have reserved their
energies until such time as they would seem to
be needed or advisable in special instances or
general work. When that time arrives the COM
mittee will be found with its shoulder to the
wheel.
In confederation of the statements above made
and as illustrating how general is the move
ment In subdivision of land the following facts
are offered

Whitaker Il Ray own 6,75l acres near Hicks
vile and Clay. Arrangements are now being
made by them to cut up the same and sell IL in
small pieces, with water for irrigation which it
is proposed to bring ill.,
In addition to these tracts are a number of
smaller tracts bought for subdivision, which are
either now on the market or are about TO be
placed thereon.
IL might be added that the proprietors of the
Amador and Sacramento Canal Company have
bonded large tracts OF land to be sold in small
pieces with water from their ditch. Also that
claim has been filed for 81 GOO inches of water
TO be taken out of the American river and car
ried i'll canal through the county; that sur
veyor is now at work choosing the most practi-
cable route; and that arrangements are being
made with each land owner along the pro-
posed canal to cut up portion of his holding.
Also that parties connected with the Sacra-
mento and Placeryille Railroad are bonding
large tracts of land along the road for the very
evident purpose OF subdivision.
Godr committee can, therefore report good
progress in the work for which it was selected
though it be true that the results are not due to
their own efforts, but almost entirely TO outside
influences. The effects, however. win be none
the less pleasing TO your Association aud 10 the
county at large.

Regular Monthly Meeiing-Reports of
ub-Committees.
The regular monthly meeting of the Ex-
ecutive Committee of the Improvement
Association was held at their headquarters
last evening. After the calling of the roll
and the reading of the minutes of the pre-
vious meeting, the various subcommittee
were called upon to report. Several of them
submitted written reports, and others made
statements of progress, and all were granted
further time.
THE PUBLIC MARKET.
Frank Miller submitted the following,
which was adopted:
The committee on the filing of the slough and
the establishing of a market desire to report to
you that much valuable time has gone by with
out any definite steps taken toward securing the
two half blocks on the north side of street for
market.
We believe that our citizens fully appreciate
the Importance of this market. Our city can
ever be very great manufacturing center, yet
there is before us an industry which is not
limited in its future by any small circle.
The collecting and ,L shipping OF fruits and
A large business is already done, but SO quietly
as to attract but little attention. With the
growth OF the state the business must increase
IN a ten.fold ratio as compared Herewith
Under suitable facilities much of the business
in dried and canned fruits will be located in
this city, and, in fact, this city should have the
most of it.
The market is not solely for the use of resi-
dents. In process of time the greatest value of
the transactions will be in those articles which
simply pass through the city.
We need this place as much or more than cot
ton-markets are needed in the South.
1t is important that the citizens should act in
this matter promptly. The City Trustees have
found that the only way to effect the object is to
call vote of the people on the proposition to
levy tax, or incur debt, sufficient to pay for
the land at price which shall be established
by the Courts under process for condemnation
This process will require, six months time,
therefore 1t should be begun imme dlately. The
| vote of the people is to be preliminary to that
| therefore we offer the following resolution
WHEREAS, 1t is desirable that public mar
ket shall be established on the two half blocks
adjoining the north line of street, and between
Third and Fifth streets therefore
ReSOiued, That the Citizens improvement As
ISOLATION do hereby respectfully request the
City Trustees to take vote of the people as
prescribed by law, upon the question whether
or not q tax shall be levied for sum sufficient
to pay for said half blocks, after they are con
demned for public market and, also, the City
Trustees are respectfully requested if such vote
is favorable, to proceed with the suit for con-
domination as fast as possible.

NO BAPTIST CONVENTIONS OVER
SUNDAY.

The Iowa Baptist State Convention
was in session in Usage recently. The
Convention discussed an amendment to
the constitution, changing the time of
its annual meetings from Thursday to
Tuesday evening, with the design of
holding no more conventions over Sun
day. 1t was brought out in the discus
sion, pending the amendment, that Bap-
fist State conventions generally are
adopting this reform. Minnesota, Wis
consin, Kansas and Nebraska were par
ticularly referred to. Minnesota Bap
fists have made a double change.
Whereas formerly they held their Con-
vention in the middle of the week, they
had tried the experiment of Sunday
conventions to their dissatisfaction,
and have now gone back permanently to
the middle of the week plan, the wiser
for their folly. 1t was noticeable that
the same reasons, substantially, were
given for the change that had been
offered in our Iowa Universalist Con-
vention a few weeks earlier, to wit:
discommoding so many clergymen and
their parishes as to their Sunday SER
vice, for the sake of a field-day in
single parish; an undue waste of time
after the real business of the Conven-
ton is over unnecessary extension of
Inequalities in wearied families, when
theirguests would far rather be at home;
a needless reduction of the attendance
upon the Convention because many cler-
gymen will not vacate their pulpits on
Sunday; neither will Others pay heavy
costs to attend a convention, when
necessity will allow them to attend only
a small portion of its sessions; the folly
of so many idle pulpits and idle clergy
men on Sunday, for the cheap excuse of
hearing certain favorite elergymen
preach, ETC., etc. Indeed, the holding of
State Conventions, composed largely of
active pastors, whose church services
should go on uninterruptedly, was made
to appear a very miserable and waste
full policy. Some members went so far
as to declare this to be their last appear
ance in State Conventions, which would
not adopt the reform when the reasons
therefor were so apparent and 80 numer-
GUS. The measure was laid over under

Here we are, as we suppose. in agree
ment with the Journal and Messenger.
If any one should dispute our concep-
ton of retribution and should insist
as some do-that the consequences of
transgression which continue after re-
pentance are retributive, we should
still be able to show that there is place
for mercy. For it cannot be disputed
that a particular and most oppressive
consequence of sin, to wit, the sinners
feeling of alienation and of Gods dis
approval, terminates with repentance.
That heavy burden is replaced with the
sense of pardon. If he suffers now it
is not as an evil doer. His heart ex-
pands with gratitude; he celebrates
with rapture the goodness and mercy
of God.
We remarked in the criticised para
graph, that to recognize the inevitable.
ness of Gods retribution and to act in
view of it, is not to be a Christian, be-
cause the Christian motive is higher
AS we understand Christianity it re.
quires us to do justly, love mercy and
walk humbly with our God, not through
fear of retribution, but because we are
in love with righteousness. LIMA.

"The funeral was held from the Uni
versalist church on Wednesday afternoon.
The services being conducted by Rev.
DIR. Crane. Of Galesburg. Rev. o. Rogers
and Rev. W. r. Cole, all warm personal
friends Of the deceased-and it may also
be said that the large congregation which
filled the church as we'll as the members
OF the choir, were also all intimate friends
OF the deceased. DIR. Crane spoke from LIST
Cor. Nv. 48, showing not only the certainty
of the heavenly life. but the analogy be-

Rev. W. r. Cole spoke particularly of the
life and labors of the deceased during his

THE following extract from the writ
ings of Florence Nightingale has not
appeared in any of our journals 1T
will be found especially interesting to
Universalists:
"Sermons sometimes start from knowl-
edge of man, of human character, but none
start from knowledge of or even an inquiry
into Gods character. Scarcely any study
has received less attention than that of the
character of God. Men have been content
to take it upon authority, they have been con-
tent to give this study not even the serious
inquiry which is gwen to the anatomy of a
pigeon or the construction of bivalve- shell.
What wonder if there is no subject in the world
on which man has such crude, sach passing
thoughts ss religion. And this is the most i'm
portant, the most SURPRISING and the most
difficult subject of all. How would it be pos
sible to construct any other science without
knowing its fundamental law? Know God
has indeed been said-and that TO know God
is eternal life-as indeed it should be. Bat
has one step been made in knowing him
since that time? Have not indeed the most
awful retrograde steps, the most astonishing
of mistakes been made upon which whole
politics have been founded, from not know
ing the character of God? Take for example
some of the most familiar instances of mis-
takes arising from not understanding the
character of God? One; That God regards suf-
fering as good in itself; thathe pays well those
who inhict it upon themselves, is the basis on
which was founded a very large polity in the
Roman church."

ONE of the distinguished local politi-
clans of this State, with an "Hon." be-
fore his name, appeared before Govern
or Oglesby in behalf of the anarchists,
and in the course of his address urging
clemency, ventured the prediction that
"if the seven are executed as sUere John
Knor, Charles Wesley and others, they
would become martyrs to principle
that will one day rule the universe"
If this gentleman's skill in prophecy is
no better than his knowledge of his
tory, the chances for martyr immor-
tality of our anarchists are very slim
indeed. 1t is the first time that history
was made to father the executions of
Knox and Wesley.

prises and methods. In addition to these
regular meetings, it has devoted an even
ing now and then to public religious SER
vices. Beside the distinctively mission
airy meeting, the Association has met, on
several evenings, for musical and liter
airy entertainment, and social enjoyment
1t has been help, not alone in increas-
ing the general religious life among it's
members, but it has, through entertain
ments, assisted materially in carrying
forward the work of the church, of which
it is an organic part. Its present member
ship is forty-two, and it's regular sessions
are held semi-monthly.

For the purpose of interesting the
young people of the Universalist church in
the realization and discharge of their obi
cations to our church, the General Conven-
ton drafted the plan of Young Peoples
Missionary Association. All the young
people of a Universslist parish of the age
of twelve years and upward, are eligible
to membership. After paying all inciden-
tai expenses of the club, for which purpose
each member pays into the treasury an an
nual sum not less than twenty-five cents,
the net revenues of the association, from
whatever source received, are divided
equally between the General Convention
and the State Convention in whose juris-
diction the Association may be located.
Thirty eight of these associations are al
ready formed.

The Whiteside Sentinel, Morrison, ILL.,,

"The friends of Rev. Mary Garard gave her
farewell reception in the basement room
of the Universalist church on Tuesday even
ing of this week, which was largely attended,
there being about one hundred and.fifty to two
hundred people present. Refreshments were
served to all. After all had partaken, Hon.
f. B. Warner called the meeting to order
when Mrs. Geo. Whitcomb stepped to the
front, and with appropriate remarks present
ed, on behalf of the many friends, very
handsome and valuable silk plush case, con-
tanning one dozen fine silver teaspoons. She
was also presented with a fine boquet. Miss
Garard responded in beautiful and expressive
language, thanking the friends for the to-
kens, which she would always prize as com
ing from her friends. Rev. Miss Garard has
been pastor of the Universalist church of
this city for four years, and in that time has
made many warm and true friends, who re-
greet to see her leave them. By her true
Christian character she has won a place in
the hearts of her people which will never be
effaced."
Miss Garard has not yet decided where
she will locate. She is now on a visit
East, and passed through Chicago on
Wednesday of last week for Philadelphia.
1t is not impossible that she may spend
the next few months in special study at
one OF the Eastern schools OF oratory.
